Hi!

I'm a trusted developer/reverse engineer and normally only post in the Crackberry forums. My top 3 threads over there about running Google Play on a Blackberry device have reached over 5 million hits.

This thread here is all about installing Blackberry apps on any device running Android 5.0 or better.

Check out this great video review by Andres Segovia from NewsReel to see how my solution performs (thanks buddy!):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8JPpzisCGQ

Patched app that are available:

* Blackberry Calendar

* Blackberry Contacts

* Blackberry Hub

* BlackBerry Hub+ Services

* Blackberry Keyboard

* Blackberry Launcher

* Blackberry Notes

* BlackBerry Notable

* Blackberry Passwordkeeper

* BlackBerry Privacy Shade

* Blackberry Universalsearch

* Blackberry Tasks

HOW TO INSTALL

1. Uninstall all Blackberry apps that you may have installed with any other installation method and reboot your device

2. Go to the Github page (link below)

3. Read the "Learn more" section on Github

4. Download and install BlackBerry Manager

5. Install the apps of your choice directly from Blackberry Manager

*******************************************************************************

Blackberry Manager (downloader/updater)

http://cobalt232.github.io/blackberrymanager/

Features of Blackberry Manager:

* Downloads BlackBerry apps from Play Store and patches them on the fly

* Automatically notifies when updates are available

* Configure permissions (long press an item)

*******************************************************************************

IMPORTANT NOTES, PLEASE READ

Blackberry Services MUST be installed if you want to use Blackberry Hub and other apps (except for Keyboard).

It is very important that you grant all permissions to the apps so that they can work correctly. Verify permissions after installing an app by tapping the app icon in the listview.

Blackberry Hub will add its own Microsoft Exchange integration. If you want to use the Hub together with Exchange, you should remove the default device exchange account. If you don't do that, you will have double calendar entries in your calendar.

Enjoy!

Legal notice:

All Blackberry apps remain the property of Blackberry Limited. By using these apps, you agree to the Blackberry terms and conditions. The apps are patched to work on stock Android and are provided 'as is', without warranty of any kind. Please consider buying a Blackberry Android device, if you enjoy using these apps!

Awesome!!! Very very good!! All apps works but i have a problem, BlackBerry services is FC all time, i have a moto g 2014 with stock 6.0, any solution?
[Android Apps and Games] cobalt232:
The Priv is running 5.1.1, so 6.0 may not be fully supported. You can verify if all permissions are set, maybe that will help.
[Android Apps and Games] ermetek:
On Sony z5 blackberry service battery drain. See the attachment.
[Android Apps and Games] cobalt232:
Battery consumption may be high in the first 30 min because of sync tasks. Wait until it settles.

Also, disable all device sync account if possible and just use hub to sync your accounts.

BlackBerry 10

Since we are at BlackBerry Zone , I would like to ask a question. Any dual system android /BlackBerry OS 10 or any room similar to that ?

Or any single rom like BlackBerry 10 OS I know that somebody. May suggest me to buy Z 10/30/Leap/CLASSIC /PASSPORT ETC . But I say that's why I love android. I mean were else u can do such things ?

[Android Apps and Games] abramadhi:
[MENTION=2358282]islandfever[/MENTION] go to settings >apps>blackberry manager and allow the permission for storage
[Android Apps and Games] islandfever2009:
Nevermind. I granted the storage permission, now everything is working great!
[Android Apps and Games] cobalt232:
On Android 6.0, you must grant read/write permissions to your external Storage, otherwise the downloaded files can't be saved. It's a permissions problem. This is also stated in the first post.

BB Photo can be added ?

Allow all permissions for BlackBerry services including 11 additional permissions and then reboot. That solved the problem in my device with marshmallow.

Is there any way I can check the MIME type that is being sent along with the email? I'm using Zoho mail and I continually try to resync and nothing is working. I'm really hoping I can figure this out. The Hub is awesome.

I went to download the Device Search, and I'm getting an "Unable to parse package" message. I've never had any trouble before with it. Nexus 6, 6.0.1, rooted and stock MMB29V.
[Android Apps and Games] cobalt232:
Sorry, my bad. The file was moved on the download server.

Please note that BlackBerry Manager downloads an older version of BlackBerry Universal Search. Install that version and then manually update to the latest version of BlackBerry Universal Search.

You can fetch the latest file from here:

https://www.mycloud.ch/s/#SD357A0E6981D57A193EFEA7AA8DFD24E218257E855C9133B4DDE5DB0D274601

Do not attempt to install just the latest file. It doesn't work. It only works if it is updated over a previous version.
[Android Apps and Games] enzo_cz:
All installed and been working fine. But today BBhub starting to show pop ups prompting me to tick the notification permission which I did at the very beginning. Now resulting that only emails being sync'ed however e.g. Whatsapp conversations aren't updated anymore. What am I missing, please?

What is the infrastructure telemetry fix about?
[Android Apps and Games] ibaxx:
Check the permissions again!

Gesendet von meinem RAZR HD mit Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] cobalt232:
The telemetry version of BlackBerry Services has the the complete telemetry part removed from the code. This results in better compatibility with some devices.
[Android Apps and Games] islandfever2009:
That did it, Thanks! Keep up the awesome work!
[Android Apps and Games] nameejokerx:
Great work. I have issue with multiple fb account in the hub. I can't remove like email. Now it keep adding up when i reboot my phone. I have 7 fb account in the hub
[Android Apps and Games] cobalt232:
Remove facebook, reboot and re-install facebook. Verify all permissions.
[Android Apps and Games] R_Seen:
language switch

[MENTION=6001224]cobalt232[/MENTION] thanks a lot for port :good:

but how should switch between languages in bb keyboard?!!

there is no Button for that!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] cobalt232:
BlackBerry Keyboard supports multiple language input. It will detect your language while you're typing and automatically switch to that language. Please read the instructions in BlackBerry Manager app to learn how to configure multilanguage support. Note that multilanguage input only works if the languages use a similar keyboard layout (i.e. english/chinese won't work - english/french works)
[Android Apps and Games] R_Seen:
I want English+Persian --- So I cant. because there is not Persian in Multi-Language!!
[Android Apps and Games] dedbunny:
Running this on a 'rooted' s4 i337 running SlimSaber 5.1.1.

Install went smooth, couple busy server re-clicks but that happens, no worries.

Everything seems to be working nicely, hub, bbm, manager and services. No errors or hiccups so far. Keyboard installed and works great.

I'm assuming it's because of the root/su combo but I didn't have to assign permissions to anything, not so far.

So far so good, very nice Mr. Cobalt232
[Android Apps and Games] Anubis22666:
[MENTION=6001224]cobalt232[/MENTION] I am unable to install any apps except the calendar and tasks, I think this has to do with Device admin settings for BB Services, when I click on the option to give device admin permissions to the BB Services, it takes me to the device administration but I don't see BBSIS in the options, although it is there for the Notification permissions. I tried clearing cache, restarting, reinstalling, hasn't helped. I'm on Note 4, S7 EDGE ROM port (Marahamallow) and rooted. Please advise.

Thank U.

Hi. I've been using the Hub and Calendar for some days now. Everything works smooth except one thing.

The Calendar App shows all google calendars in settings and in the overview aswell but when i open the sidebar it only shows 7 of 9 calendars. Problem is that my main calendar is missing. I can't set those calendards as standard aswell.

All permissions are proper set.

Using a ZUK Z1 with CM13 nightlys and opengapps. No SUPERSU no Xposed.

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] UCFour:
[MENTION=6001224]cobalt232[/MENTION] this bb launcher is for devices without on screen buttons too?
[Android Apps and Games] cobalt232:
Yes. It contains modifications to generically support devices with and without hard keys.
[Android Apps and Games] pranavmali:
Go to

Settings>Apps>bb services>permission

And enable all of them then restart ur phone
[Android Apps and Games] Anubis22666:
Thank U for the reply, yes I did that.. didn't help.
[Android Apps and Games] pranavmali:
Uninstall every thing and then 1st install bb services then install everything.. When u install bb services click to the notification and it will ask I permissions.. Allow them all don't install bb manager
[Android Apps and Games] Anubis22666:
Cheers my friend, outside at the moment, will follow Ur instructions later in the evening... :)
[Android Apps and Games] cobalt232:
Why do you propose not to install BlackBerry Manager?
[Android Apps and Games] pranavmali:
Coz when I tried to download bb services it didn't work no matter how I try. I tried to install in 4 different devices. I set aside my router still it stops at 44% and I download ur patched apk directly and it worked very neatly and I am glad that u made those apk's and I love ur awesome work it's just.. Bb manager doesn't work..
[Android Apps and Games] cobalt232:
Well, maybe the file is not downloadable from your country. That's possible. The files in BlackBerry Manager are hosted on one drive. If you can't download them there, my other shared folder may be the right choice, as you propose.
[Android Apps and Games] alirazaagha:
These apps work well with my Note 3. The launcher is full paged leaving no space underneath. Hub is actively working with WhatsApp. However, productivity edge is still unavailable. Can we keep our fingers crossed? Nonetheless, thanks a lot [MENTION=6001224]cobalt232[/MENTION]...

[MENTION=6001224]cobalt232[/MENTION] I have an LG G4 running android 6.0 and when I try to open BB Calendar it keeps saying "Unfortunately, Calendar has stopped". I have all the apps in BB Manager installed and up to date and all permissions are turned on for all those apps and the calendar one just won't work, even disabled the default calendar app and still. The newest version of BB Calendar that works for me is 1.1.0.4753 all newer updates just crash. Can you help?
[Android Apps and Games] cobalt232:
Sorry, but some code changes in Calendar make it impossible to run calendar on some devices.
[Android Apps and Games] dursosono:
Can you share BB Calendar v1.1.0.4753? I am on LG G3 D855 MM also won't work latest version

Describe error

So I keep getting a "Describe error" when downloading Blackberry services through the manager. This happens right after services have been downloaded. I've attempted on multiple devices as well on a Samsung GT 4 and Samsung S5 both running Android 5.1.1.[IMG="error"]https://goo.gl/photos/Pdu8p8TCMUZvvwUn8[/IMG]

BlackBerry Hub and Attachment Issues

Samsung S7 User

Anyone else have issues downloading Attachments from an Exchange Account in BlackBerry Hub? Text files seem to be fine, but PDF, XLS, and DOC files just show the download progress bar and no progress ever happens. I did have a wav file randomly work, but generally they also do not work. The latest update did not change this. If it just me, I will remove and reinstall the Hub.

Also, I did a search and cannot see all of my email accounts for Remote Search. One of my Calendar Accounts is displayed on the Calendar, listed in Accounts, but not listed on the main Calendar menu and not manageable from BlackBerry Hub (Cannot Approve or Reject Appointment Requests). It is not the same account as the one that does not show in Remote Search's.

Still this is better than not having the Hub and I am not sure if there is any hope of fixing these issues.

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] cobalt232:
Latest Blackberry Services now requires Android 6.0 Marshmallow to run. You can no longer use some apps on Android 5.1.1.

Wonderful Contribution Man. Keepup your Great work.

Using ur patched Apps for quite some time, Without any issues. Thank you.

Can i use BB hub and BB services Along with Nova launcher. BB launcher consuming too much RAM and not customisable.
[Android Apps and Games] cobalt232:
Thanks. Yes, you can use any Launcher, but you will lose the spark notification on the icons when messages arrive. Nova launcher may have solution to provide custom notifications on the icon.
[Android Apps and Games] bnwg:
I have come across the situation whenever opening a contact from BB contact app the message/sms app will show a blank msg to the contact I just open via BB contact app.

If the contact contains four numbers for instance there will be four blank msg in message/sms app.

Not sure if anyone experiences the same.

Mate, i'm in trouble. BB Manager refuses to download showing error message "too many requests" and I can't download through the other option you gave because it's simply too slow (download speed is 10KB/s and it's not my network fault, it must be like 500KB/s.

Any solution?

If you want the productivity tab working, just download the productivity edge here: http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/port-apks-blackberry-priv-venice-t3244542, and flash it via custom recovery.

1. Turn on your phone

2. Connect it to your PC and open a terminal and type the following command in order:

adb shell

settings put global bbry_productivity_edge_enable 1

settings put secure bbry_productivity_edge_enable 1

settings put system bbry_productivity_edge_enable 1

Reboot your phone, go to settings/app and set the permission of the productivity tab... And Enjoy!

I was able to download (June 10th 2016) all the apps on that link but the only problem i have is with the "BlackBerry Calendar" which crashes every time i try to open it.

EDIT (Update: 2016-06-11): I'm using my LG G4

EDIT (Update: 2016-06-12): Found a temporary solution to the BlackBerry Calendar crashing all the time. I found a signed version on xda and installed it and that apk works (BlackBerry Calendar version 1.1.0.4753)

EDIT (Update: 2016-06-12*): Adding BlackBerry Launcher shortcuts directly inside folders or trying to make a folder by dragging them on another shortcut makes the BlackBerry Launcher crash.
